How couples can pray together and for each other, Scripture for praying as a couple, and how two people can each use The Pray App through the week.

A prayer app for couples helps two people keep praying for each other and for the people they love, together and apart. In The Pray App, each of you keeps your own prayer cards, and a group with just the two of you holds the requests you pray about together.

How can couples pray together?

Couples can pray together by setting a short, regular time, like after dinner or before bed, and taking turns praying a few sentences. Pray for each other by name, for your home, and for the people on your hearts, then thank God together. It doesn’t need to be long or polished. A few minutes, kept up week after week, matters more than a perfect prayer.

What does the Bible say about praying together?

The Bible shows that praying together is a gift. Jesus said, “If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them” (Matthew 18:19-20, ESV). “A threefold cord is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12, ESV).

Paul’s words to every believer apply at home too: “Love one another with brotherly affection… Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:10-12, ESV).

What should couples pray for?

Couples can pray for the same things the Bible teaches every Christian to pray for, close to home:

• Each other, by name, for the day ahead.
• Your home, for kindness, patience, and forgiveness (Colossians 3:13).
• Your family, children, parents, and siblings.
• Decisions, for wisdom (James 1:5).
• Your church and friends, and people who don’t know Jesus.
• Thanks, for what God has done together.

What if praying together feels awkward?

Praying together often feels awkward at first, and that’s normal. Start with short prayers, even one sentence each. Pray the Lord’s Prayer together (Matthew 6:9-13). Read a Psalm aloud and pray from it. If one of you is more comfortable praying out loud, let that person start, and keep it simple. See how to pray when you don’t know what to say.

How can couples use The Pray App?

Couples can each use The Pray App on their own phones. Make a prayer card for your spouse: tap New prayer card, write the prayer, and add them under Praying for from your contacts. Set Repeat to Daily so you pray for each other every day.

A prayer card holds the prayer, who it’s for, and a verse.

To pray through the same list, start a group with just the two of you: in Manage, under Groups, tap Start a group, name it, paste the requests you share, and send your spouse the invite code. Each of you can tap Ask for prayer to add a request, and the group’s requests come up in both of your prayer times. See pray with your small group. After you pray, the summary lists who you prayed for, and the message button opens Messages with “Hi Sam, I prayed for you today.” ready to send.

Is The Pray App right for you?

The Pray App fits couples who want to keep praying for each other and their family through the week, each on their own iPhone. A group with just the two of you keeps the requests you share in one place, and your own cards and journal stay private. If you want a simple, Scripture-centered way for each of you to remember who to pray for, it works well side by side.
